Who will win: Mahershala Ali (“Green Book”)
Yes, this is probably not anything new to hear, but Mahershala Ali is an amazing actor. We are currently seeing it every week on HBO's "True Detective," but it's also clear in "Green Book." His casting is what makes the movie the contender it is.
WHO SHOULD WIN: Sam Elliott (“A Star Is Born”)
If Ali doesn't win, Richard E. Grant ("Can You Ever Forgive Me?") probably has a better chance of taking home the Oscar than Elliott, but I have to give a shoutout to the performance Elliott gives. In a career filled with such great supporting roles, this is definitely up there as one of his best. It would be great to see him get the Oscar.
